“We are made naturally for the opposite sex. Under normal circumstances 2 heterosexuals can make children when having sex. If for some reason it’s not possible for them to make children either by old age or infertility then they can still have sex because it’s still the natural way that God intended it to be. The openness to life is still there but the possibility for life is gone. In the homosexual act including bestiality there is no openness to life. What they are doing is intrinsically disordered and against the natural order of life. Man was not designed to mate with a Fish or another Man. This is unnatural and wrong. In no way can this behavior be accepted as normal or natural.”

While America’s mores (and the world’s) are changing rapidly, let us not forget that such bigotry still exists. We need to remain vigilant about educating America’s youth about the stupidity and sheer ugliness of such viewpoints. Our work will not be done until the Bible takes its rightful place in the fantasy section of our local libraries, alongside Twilight and Harry Potter (both of which are better written).

And as for the “fish” comment: If a man with a large cod-piece asked to mate with me, I’d be hard-pressed to refuse.

Homosexual recruitment on YouTube? You bet! No, I don’t mean that “evil” homosexuals are trying to recruit our children. I mean that Jesus Christ or his stand-in has placed an ad on YouTube. The ad, which invites you to “see the video everyone is talking about,” manages the nasty little trick of being a homophobic rant without directly referring to homosexuals.

It’s a recruitment video. It doesn’t say outright that it’s out to gather the queer flock, but that’s the target audience. Type in the word “gay” on YouTube and the video will come out on top in the advertising box. Type in controversial words, such as abortion, sex, ex-con, masturbation, and sex workers and the video won’t appear. Nor is it aimed at other religions. Type in Muslims, Jews or Buddhists and—no ad! Type the words “heaven is real” and you won’t get this ad, either. (But you will be offered a “Christian fat loss tip.”)

Jesus (by way of a prophet called RioDonuts) says that He has “been in heaven, building a place for you, yes, for you.” And while the video takes a swipe at other religions, the target audience is same-gender-loving people.

LGBT folks are exhorted by Jesus (aka RioDonuts) to seek His forgiveness or they’ll never reach their appointed place in heaven. What can one answer when confronted with such homophobic drivel? I can only think of the words of Shaw’s Saint Joan. To paraphrase: “Mr. Donuts, my counsel is of God and yours is of the Devil.”

A direct link to RioDonuts’ recruitment video is below. You will note that RioDonuts in his ignorance has used Adagio for Strings as the video’s inspirational background music. This piece was written by Samuel Barber: a gay man.
